Hello, pretty simple question:
My husband is filling the I-130 to petition me. He is a U.S. citizen but he was born in the Philippines. He obtained U.S. citizenship through his mother when she became a naturalized U.S. citizen, and my husband was 16 years old at the time (so he does not have a naturalization certificate in his own name). He has a U.S. passport.
In this case, for the I-130, does he have to attach his birth certificate from the Philippines, or is that unnecessary? My initial understanding was that the birth certificate could be used on the I-130 to prove U.S. citizenship; but in his case, he was born abroad so we only attached his U.S. passport. Is only his U.S. passport enough? Would his foreign birth certificate be required? He doesn't know where it is, that's why I'm asking in the hope that we will not need to attach it to the I-130.
Thank you in advance for your help!!!
